Esme Fernando

Brief but memorable, Esme Fernando made her entrance into the Marvel Universe in 1987's Alpha Flight #48, brought to life by Bill Mantlo and Terry Shoemaker during comics' Copper Age. Her handful of appearances place her squarely within the wild, character-rich world of Alpha Flight, where she shares the page with heavy hitters like Sasquatch, Box, and the enigmatic Goblyn Dean. A rare find with only four catalog appearances, Esme is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through a long run so rewarding.
